I'M GETTING MENTAL HELP - LUIS SUAREZ

The 27-year-old is taking his
anger issues seriously and has sought specialist help in a bid to ensure the
red mist never descends again

Barcelona star Luis Suarez
has revealed how he is receiving psychological help in a bid to overcome
the anger problems that have seen him suspended twice in 15 months for biting
opposition players.

The Uruguay international's
most recent offence occurred during the World Cup, where he was caught sinking
his teeth into Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder.

That incident saw him handed
a four-month suspension from all football, after he had been banned for 10
games for doing the same thing to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a
Premier League match against Chelsea in April 2013.

Now a Barca player following
his summer move from Liverpool, the 27-year-old is keen to prove that he is a
changed man by talking about the steps he has taken to banish his disciplinary
problems once and for all.

He told El Observador:
"After the suspension I had some really hard times. I'm getting
psychological help and the club have been a constant support."

As he moved ever closer to
his return to football against Real Madrid on October 25, Suarez was also
accused of being fat by sections of the press, but he has now spoken out against
those who questioned his fitness.

"I was never
overweight," he added. "It was just as Luis Enrique said on one
occasion: 'Tell me when you see Luis Suárez thin'. The doctor who carries out
the medicals at the club said that I was one of the six players at Barcelona
who had the lowest percentage of fat and lowest weight. It was all part of the
newspapers' game."

His inability to control his
temper has seemingly been the factor behind Suarez's omission from
the list of candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or, but rather than protest
against the snub, the former Ajax man is remaining philosophical, while
targeting his first league goals for his new club.

"I'm sure I haven't been
nominated because of what I did at the World Cup," he said. "But in
that case, they should take into account all those who did nothing at the World
Cup. It hurts you, because I did a lot of things at Liverpool last year. But in
football there's always another chance. It'll come."

"I'm not worried. If I
don't score goals and we win, I'll be happy all the same. I really want to
celebrate a goal in the shirt of the team I've always dreamed of - but we all
have droughts."

With that said, I think he is
doing the right thing cos you never can tell how worse some psychological
issues can root deep down.

Good and make sure you don't
skip any therapy session. All the best buddy.
